my xero in bloom

[funkychips]

Thanks for ID Andy! Didn't expect it to be a baileyi. By the way if I may ask how does the term caulescent and viviparous apply for tills?
My xero was blooming too soon I guess. Yellowish? Meaning the leaves or the infl? Is there a factor affecting xeros which cause them to flower so early? Also the result of hanging at 90 degrees caused the infl to row sideways and curved. My uncle who came to our house on CNY day called it 'the phoenix rising'
